WBO bantamweight titleholder Teofimo Lopez has stated that his favorite current boxer is absolute second lightweight division champion Naoya Inoue.
"Inoue is the number one pound-for-pound and my favorite fighter of this era. Why is he my favorite fighter? Have you seen him fight? This guy has mastery of all styles. I respect fighters like that. I admire fighters who strive to be great. That's what it's all about, legacy. And I can't wait to see him in the ring again," Lopez told Ring Magazine.
Recall that Inoue knocked out Luis Nery in the sixth round in early May.
